Ah, yes you're right.  Hmm, well perhaps a bug report / feature request
to them might prompt them to add it?

I played with it a little to get a feel for how font editing works.
I've never designed fonts before, but the tool seemed pretty snappy and
effective.  The interface looks a bit old fashioned, but they seem to
have put a lot of work into this tool, and it has a lot of good font
features.  It would be excellent if this tool could gain stronger SVG
font abilities.
